+1 to this. I fly into LGW from the continent (and pay the £7 for premium immigration as mentioned by ElmhurstNick) and find it more convenient than LHR (arrivals from the US). Easier transfer to the train station, and a fast ride on various services (vs a long haul on the Piccadilly or a fast train to Paddington). If Crossrail ever opens I might change my opinion back to LHR, but in the mean time I'd actually be pretty happy if DL/VS moved their entire operation to LGW (which of course they won't).
